Brown will use her platform to raise awareness of children’s rights and issues affecting youth today. She will bring awareness to issues like lack of education, poverty, bullying, and violence. UNICEF is asking everyone to go blue for World Children’s Day to show solidarity with disadvantaged and vulnerable children.
